Abstract
This narrative review explores the relationship between allergic diseases and sleep disorders in children, highlighting the significant impact allergies have on pediatric sleep quality. Allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis are prevalent in children and are known to contribute to sleep disturbances. These disorders can lead to issues such as sleep fragmentation, obstructive sleep apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness, which negatively affect cognitive function, behavior, and overall well-being. Studies from Saudi Arabia and other regions indicate a clear association between allergies and impaired sleep, with factors such as nasal congestion, wheezing, and itching playing key roles in disrupting sleep patterns. Treatment options, including pharmacological therapies, immunotherapy, and allergen avoidance strategies, aim to alleviate symptoms and improve sleep outcomes. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship and to develop more effective management strategies for children suffering from both allergic diseases and sleep disorders.
